Who next for the Highlander ?

I agree he can't be rushed but the guys being put up so far are a joke, i doubt he's learning much. Hughie Fury is now taking on better standard guys than him now and dispatching these fights nearly 2 a month.

Im not looking for cornish to equal that but the oponents have to improve to at least a UK top 15 level!

 

I think luckily Tommy Gilmour won't be listening to you. Whoever wins prizefighter? Toney would KO Cornish very quick. You need to remember Cornish is a novice in boxing terms. Yes he needs a step up but he doesn't need a to jump. Rogan is a step up but that's a hard hard fight. If the money was right Dolan would fight at Heavyweight he has before. What Cornish needs is baby steps and Plenty of top sparring

 

A bit of sense on this thread finally, Gary only had about 7 amateur fights. There is no need to just throw him in because he is 16-0. He needs to be stepping up the opposition in every fight and in between fights trying his best to get top class sparring to help bring him along. It's not easy in Scotland because the sparring pool is very thin so I would like to see if possible him spend 4-6 weeks getting top class sparring in the U.S or Germany.

The same people on this thread that are wanting him to step up and fight ***ton, McDermott etc will be the same guys who will come on this forum if he was beaten saying 'he wasn't ready' or 'this guy is another Tom Dallas' or if he was to win '***** was finished' or '****** was never at British level anyway' How can he win either way?

We don't know how good Gary will or will not be, but rushing him into fights is the wrong way to go about it.

 

I find this bit amusing!!! there might not be lots of sparring in scotland but I was speaking to big rossco henderson about cornish. Rossco is the scottish champion and has boxed for scotland for years so you would imagine this would be ideal sparring for him? well when sparring was arranged here is how things went down!!

Rossco travels up from motherwell to spar with cornish, he asks cornish to wear a different type of headgaurd because in a previous sparring session he had damaged his hand when his sparring partner was using the full face headguard with a bar. Cornish then goes into MEGA DIVA SULK MODE and leaves the gym telling everyone that sparing is finished!!! His coach laurie says that if cornish says no then there is no sparring!!!

Cornish even sent his mum in to collect his training kit!!!

Rossco had travelled all that way and wasted his time for nothing!!!

Cornish has beaten nobody yet he is acting like this??

My opinion is cornish will go nowhere and will be kod as soon as he fights a real heavyweight

 

Hughie Fury is a totally different level mate. Fury is still a boy in heavyweight terms and will not fully mature for a few years but in saying that I believe he is getting the rounds in on purpose. Watched a few fights that he didn't push for stoppages he could of got. In honesty styles make fights anyway so there is nothing at all in your argument at all. In my opinion Cornish looks like he will fall short at British level at the minute so really he would need to keep improving in order to get to that level. Only way of doing that is by taking it slow and getting good sparring..

 

who he fights aside, he needs to step up how often also.

Cornish has faught 5 times this year.
Fury has done 11 since March, considering they are at a simaler level in UK boxing despite age, it shows a differance in management style.

I personally think fury is fighting too much but cornish is resting too much. we were told two more fights and hopefully televised live before christmas but we are now in November, two months since his last and nothing announced? He's already behind fury in the rankings and needs the next fight to be a slight step up in order to keep momentum. Richard Towers didn't look good last weekend and may well look to bounce back, i think id fancy cornish and neither would think they have it easy.

 

You might be right about the opposition not being stepped up yet but the point is there is no rush, Gary would learn more from getting top class sparring than he would being pushed into fights too quick.

A step up with a genuine heavyweight that doesn't hit too hard but would give Gary rounds would be an ideal next fight. Matt Skelton would fit this bill

 

he should wait for a british title shot whilst keeping active and slowly improving his opposition, hes a good talent imo

 

atsch

not sure how you wait for a title shot without taking on any of the guys mentioned above.

 

Don't talk **** mate,he's a novice in every sense of the word there the cream he wouldn't be allowed near them,it's just another Tommy Gilmour publicity stint
